Queen B’s Decree: This was the first story I’ve ever read from Pippa Grant, but I don’t think it will be the last.
The Fake Wedding Project is definitely ridiculous, but I just had so much fun while reading. Dane and Amanda are stuck within a generations-long family feud, even through they’ve never participated. When Amanda panics and creates a fake engagement to Dane while visiting their home town, Dane wholeheartedly dives in and convinces her this is the only way to mend the feuding families.
And the fact that Dane had a crush on her in high school has nothing to do with his suggestion (wink wink).
Full of family hijinks, Dane’s adorable dog, and enough sexual tension to build a gingerbread house, The Fake Wedding Project was a wonderful read. I couldn’t put it down; it hit all the boxes.
Steam and spice✅. Humorous dialogue✅. Deeply emotional (and almost brought me to tears)✅. Grand gesture at the end (from both Dane and Amanda)✅.
While yes, I read this after Christmas, it kept me in the spirit and I’d happily read more from this author.
